Hard Alpi Tour : Adventure bikes Photo Fest #2

It’s our second photo gallery from the  Hard Alpi Tour organised by Over2000riders.com, sponsored by Yamaha, Garmin and host of other adventure companies .  Part one is here

The 800 km long event  draws riders and their adventure bikes from all over Europe and the world to ride the route from Sanremo to Sestriere, riding a route that slices along the vast network of military and fire roads in the mountain to the north of the resort

So this is another photo splash of the bikes in the build up to the evening start. To see so many different and unusual adventure bikes  in one place is rare – we were in seventh heaven.
